Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Upright is a 2019 Australian road trip Dramedy that originally aired on Sky Atlantic in the UK and Foxtel in Australia.Lachlan "Lucky" Flynn (Tim Minchin), a slacker and failed musician, is transporting an upright piano to his childhood home in Perth. Meg Adams (Milly Alcock), an abrasive, headstrong teenager, is running away from her small country town and alcoholic father. Brought together by a car accident in the middle of nowhere and with only one vehicle between them, Lucky and Meg embark on a chaotic road trip adventure, form an Odd Friendship, and slowly uncover the secrets and traumas that drive them.Series 2 picks up four years later, when Meg unexpectedly blows back into Lucky's life with a request: she wants his help to track down her long-lost mother. It soon becomes clear that for both Lucky and Meg, this journey into the tropical jungles of far north Queensland is as much about running away from the wreckage of their personal lives.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Forced Prize Fight | |
| Upright / int_33fbdabc | comment |
Esme’s reaction when she finds out Lucky’s name after she’s essentially kidnapped him and forced him into a fight that may well kill him. | |

Abuse Mistake | |
| Upright / int_3cc3ed1d | comment |
Abuse Mistake: An on-edge, irritable Lucky snapping at a teenage girl with a broken arm is understandably pretty concerning for the doctor they’re talking to. Made worse when they lie very unconvincingly about how she broke it. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Upright / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Lucky’s mum does, of course, die soon after he gets there. It also seems like he won’t get to tell Billie the truth about being her father, and it’s left unsaid whether he ever got over Suzie. But he got to see his mother and spend time with her before she died, has reconciled with his brother, and has met and bonded with his daughter. He also helps Meg reunite with her father who seems to have realised that he needs to change for his daughter.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

A Family Affair | |
| Upright / int_6596a89 | comment |
A Family Affair: Lucky and Suzie, his brother’s wife, drunkenly sleep together. They agree to not tell Toby, but it’s implied that once Suzie realises she’s pregnant, they come clean with disastrous results. | |

The Alcoholic | |
| Upright / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: It’s hinted at in Season 1, and then way more heavily in Season 2, until it’s outright stated in 2x04 – Lucky has a drinking problem. | |

Actually Pretty Funny | |
| Upright / int_8042e814 | comment |
Actually Pretty Funny: Inkeeping with the nature of the show, Meg’s first reaction when finding out about Lucky’s dying mother is to make a joke – fortunately Lucky finds it hilarious. Esme’s reaction when she finds out Lucky’s name after she’s essentially kidnapped him and forced him into a fight that may well kill him. | |

Alcoholic Parent: As of Season 2, it seems both Meg’s parents fall under this trope. | |
